Look: Against Utah, Stanford fans fail to show up

Stanford is in the middle of a poor season, and its fans do not seem eager to watch the Cardinal's games in person.

The Cardinal hosted Utah on Friday night in Palo Alto, Calif. Not only was there a poor overall attendance, but the number of Stanford fans at the game was not great.

This was the crowd 30 minutes before kickoff:

Having a Friday night game is not very friendly to fans, who likely would prefer to go on a traditional Saturday. The commute to the stadium on a Friday night probably isn’t great either. But at 3-5, Stanford isn’t giving fans a lot of reasons to be excited this season. Falling behind 38-0 in the first half didn’t help either.
